Case Study

ObstacleThe Bakken Shale has become one of the largest oil producing areas in the United States. Bakken has a large amount of associated gas produced along with oil. Because the oil wells are scattered over a large geographical area that lacks gas-gathering infrastructure, a large amount of gas is flared. Bakken Shale needed units that is able to contain the gas that is emitted into the environment.

SolutionTexas-based companies Torrent Energy Services and Worldwide Power products, have teamed up to provide a portable system that can eliminate most of the volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions associated with the flaring of stranded gas, while generating incremental revenue from the recovery of natural gas liquids (NGL).
